This activity may cause musculoskeletal disorder at whole workers body part. It was indicated that more than 55% of worker experiencing pain in back, neck, arm and leg. Objective of the research is to propose an ergonomic design of ladle tools for reducing unnatural posture such that it can avoid musculoskeletal disorder.
